NATO and the Strategic Defence Initiative - A Transatlantic History of the Star Wars Programme (Hardcover): Luc-Andre Brunet NATO and the Strategic Defence Initiative - A Transatlantic History of the Star Wars Programme (Hardcover)
Luc-Andre Brunet
R4,469 Discovery Miles 44 690 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book explores the largely neglected issue of responses to the US Strategic Defence Initiative (SDI, or the 'Star Wars' missile defence programme) across NATO. The chapters here explore the reactions of different Western allies to the announcement of the SDI in 1983 and especially the 1985 invitation to participate. While existing studies have explored the origins of the American programme and the role it may have played in ending the Cold War, this volume breaks new ground by considering the impact of the SDI on transatlantic relations in the 1980s. Based on newly available archival sources, this volume re-evaluates the responses of eight NATO member-state governments, as well as the Soviet leadership, to the SDI. In addition to looking at 'top-down' governmental reactions, the volume also explores the 'bottom-up' response to the SDI of civil society and peace activists on both sides of the Atlantic. The volume examines how the American initiative - derisively named 'Star Wars' by its detractors - provoked a crisis in relations with its allies during the final decade of the Cold War and how those tensions within NATO were ultimately resolved. This book will be of much interest to students of Cold War history, strategic studies, foreign policy and international history.

Forging Europe: Industrial Organisation in France, 1940-1952 (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2017): Luc-Andre Brunet Forging Europe: Industrial Organisation in France, 1940-1952 (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2017)
Luc-Andre Brunet
R3,557 Discovery Miles 35 570 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book is a detailed and original look at the radical reorganisation of French heavy industry in the turbulent period between the establishment of the Vichy regime in 1940 and the creation of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), the forerunner to the European Union, in 1952. By studying institutions ranging from Vichy's Organisation Committees to Jean Monnet's Commissariat General du Plan (CGP), Luc-Andre Brunet challenges existing narratives and reveals significant continuities from Vichy to post-war initiatives such as the Monnet Plan and the ECSC. Based on extensive multi-archival research, this book sheds important new light on economic collaboration and resistance in Vichy, the post-war revival of the French economy, and the origins of European integration.
